24: We, (Foo) hiked effortlessly up the Vernal trail, while I labored stumbled and crawled my way up.

28: Refusing to be out-hiked by centenarian's; I persevered and made it to Nevada Falls.

30: Unfortunately, our 4 hour hike extended to 6 hours as we tromped alongside the darkened roadways of Yosemite in search of our "stolen" car, which was safely parked--where we left it--in the Curry Village parking lot. As Shannon would say, "an awesome shitty day."

31: Back at the Kohler homestead, Emily, Jeremiah and Gus welcomed us home.

33: Foo and Greg, Shannon feels like she has met a new Aunt and Uncle and of course she is right! After all, Foo,, you are my adopted kid sister--which is the best kind-- because I picked you from my heart. You realize Greg that makes you my brother-in-law! You made us feel at home--maybe too much at home--since we plan to visit again and again. Love you both, Diane and Shannon P.S. Give Jeremiah, Emily and Gus big hugs and kisses from us!
